INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The National Weather Service says at least nine tornadoes struck Indiana, damaging a school and other buildings and downing trees.
It says three EF2 tornadoes with winds up to 130 mph struck Greene, Monroe and Rush counties during Saturday's outbreak and an EF-1 tornado with winds reaching 100 mph struck the Indianapolis enclave of Beech Grove, heavily damaging the high school. Two weaker tornadoes struck elsewhere in Indianapolis and in Owen County.
It also said Monday that preliminary surveys also show a tornado damaged a church in Fayette County while others occurred in Union and Wayne counties.
Greene County Emergency Management Director Roger Axe says Saturday's storms destroyed three homes and damaged about 70 others.
